Key:
| G | % | % | % | [Verse 1]
G I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
G No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
G Well, I wake up in the morning, hold my hands and pray for rain
G I got a head full of ideas that are driving me insane
Em It's a shame the way she makes me
D scrub the floor
G I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more [Verse 2]
G I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
G No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
G Well he hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime
G He asks you with a grin if you're having a good time
Em Then he fines you every time you
D slam the door
G I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

[Verse 3]
G I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
G No, I ain't work for Maggie's pa no more
G Well he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks
G His bedroom window, it is made out of bricks
Em The National Guard stands around
D his door
G I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more [Interlude]

| G | % | % | % | (harp) [Verse 4]
G I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
G No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
G Well she talks to all the servants about Man and God and Law
G Everybody says she's the brains behind Pa
Em She's sixty-eight, but she says
D she's fifty-four
G I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more [Interlude]

| G | % | [Verse 5] g I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
G I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
G Well, I try my best to be just like I am
G But everybody wants you to be just like them
Em They say sing while you slave, but
D I just get bored
G I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more [Other] (repeat and fade)
